Garage Door Springs

Garage door springsare vital part of every garage door as they function as counterbalance weight that enables the door to close and open smoothly. There are two different kinds of springs used for doors, the torsion spring, which is placed above the door, and the extension springs which are located above the upper tracks.When any of these springs break, they cause major problems on the functionality of the entire door, and may also affect other parts.

We Specialize on Door Repairs

One sure way of knowing that your overhead garage door is in perfect condition is when it operates smoothly on both its opening and closing. When it starts producing weird sounds and starts to act as it normally never should, then there is a problem. If you try operating the door manually and it still gives you a hard time in opening or closing, this means one of the springs might be broken.
Attempting to personally repair or replace any broken or worn out part without the necessary expertise can lead to more serious problems with the door, or worse, personal injuries.Broken springs are notorious for causing severe injuries or even deaths to inexperienced DIY owners over the years. This is why our garage door experts at Garage Door Repair Fridley always advice against performing repair or replacement of springs alone.  Rely on experienced and skilled professionals like us.

Torsion springs in particular are always under extreme pressure from the weight of the door. So, whenever you notice something unusual with the operation of your door, it is best to leave the repairs to the professionals. Our expert professionals possess the necessary skill and equipment to safely and efficiently performthe repairs.

Broken springs can be a hassle since theynot only paralyze the whole door, but can also cause damage to other parts. For this reason, only skilled service men should be the ones to make the necessary replacement or repairs. Some door models, especially the latest ones, make use of tamper proof brackets and other parts in the process making repair attempts without the necessary skill and tools impossible without causing additional damage.
